Ha ha wow the more I read about how other people reacted to Dear Evan Hansen the more I feel like I really must just be a bad person for liking it specifically because I so strongly identify with the protagonist

I mean I'm glad you didn't become a sociopathic grifter who tells people what they want to hear constantly until you don't even remember what the truth is anymore

I kinda did

Ouch

Yeah okay I get it thank you

Of course this thread is fishing for the response "But Arthur you didn't actually fabricate this whole con where you infiltrated a grieving family of total strangers for validation and fame and money and sex with the daughter"

Said fishing is itself a very Evan Hansen move
